There is 247 mℓ more water in Container J than in Container H. There is 342 mℓ less water in Container H than in Container K. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1576 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container K than in Container J?
- How much water is there in Container H?
(a)
Volume of Container H = 1 u
Volume of Container J = 1 u + 247
Volume of Container K = 1 u + 342
Volume of more water in Container K than Container J
= 342 - 247
= 95 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 247 + 1 u + 342
= 3 u + 589
3 u + 589 = 1576
3 u = 1576 - 589
3 u = 987
1 u = 987 ÷ 3 = 329
Volume of water in Container H
= 1 u
= 329 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 95 mℓ; (b) 329mℓ
